Who could have thought, that music industry had inverted the power supply polarity! WHY????? 😂
Anyway, ordered this 9v 2A PS with a 5-way splitter: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_9wBFpl (can be ordered separately https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_A6XI0X and https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_98ndeX)
You learn every day...

The stock bridge (Ibanez B10) begins to show its imperfectness, so I've started searching for a replacement. As no other bridges (except Ibanez B100) are hole-compatible, and I have to drill new holes anyway, my search was quite broad, and I found some interesting stuff.
First of all - Schaller Bass Bridge 3D-4 BC
eBay: Schaller Bass Bridge 3D
Expensive, but the string spacings can be adjusted here, and I like the string protecting roller saddles!
This Ali-bridge is on the second place:
https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_A0UP3F
https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_ACt9oH
https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_AWCDmv
Roller saddles, heaviness, MUCH lower price. The spacing can be adjusted only within 2mm, though. I asked the sellers some questions, no response yet.

Next. Tuners. Hipshots Ultralights are way too expensive. This is the shortlist:
Gotoh GB350 2L/2R BC Res-O-Lite Bass Tuners
eBay: Gotoh GB350 bass
Schaller M4 90 2L/2R
eBay: Schaller M4 90
Most likely it will be the Schallers.

Go for the Schaller. Forget the one from Ali, I bought one to put on a build. Piece of utter crap - bad fitting parts, impossible to keep intonation, and a pain to even attempt to set up.
If not the Schaller, then Fender Hi-Mass or Gotoh 201B-4

Both are good. I have a set of the Gotoh's on one of mine. Also Gotoh's on a few guitars. I think my Schecter bass has Schallers.
RE: Music related stuff on eBay/Aliexpress/anywhere else - instruments, equipment, etc - Like Ra - 05 May 2022
Thanks @vanessa_fetish !!! Then it will be Schaller for both! Gotoh 350 are very difficult to find anyway.

Ha! And when I finally decided, that I prefer the sound of Nordstrand NPJ Blade pickups, I discovered, that they are not available in EU, and with the added shipping costs and taxes above they will cost more, than gold of the same weight 😂
So... the pickup quest continues... I was looking primarily for a blade-style pickup, apparently, I should consider poles again. EMG GZR?
BTW, I love playing bass! So far, I think that the decision to indulge in this was right!

The Geezers are good.
I've got some Entwistle bass pickups that I'm distributing. Put in a couple of builds and like the sound too.
Working on making my own sets now.
